Maggie Held from Pewaukee, Wisconsin, has elected to spend the next four years swimming at Oakland University. She shared, “I am excited to announce my verbal commitment to Oakland University. I fell in love right away when I stepped on campus. The team was so kind, the coaches are so passionate and hardworking, and the campus was beautiful. I am very excited to be joining the team next fall!”
